This is my first tutorial so please be nice. It's wonderful for vampire, zombie, or any bloody cosplay. I found a tutorial on bloody nails and thought I would try it. I followed Noodles tutorial: http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/bloody-naaaiils
(Sorry that I don't know how to save it as another version.)

You Will Need (3 things)

  • Makeup Sponge
  • Index Card
  • Red, Black, and Clear Nail Polish

Steps (4 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    First start out with clean nails.
    If you want you can buff them out to make them smooth, or manicure your nails before you begin.(It makes it look cleaner.)

  2. 2

    Next carefully pour a little of the red nail polish on the index card. Take your make-up sponge and dab it in the polish. Gently stroke upwards from the tip towards the cuticle.(It's okay if it looks a little light.)

  3. 3

    Repeat step 2 with the black nail polish, except instead of strokes dab in an upward motion.(It's alright if it feels a little rough, that is what gives it a cooler effect.) If it becomes too dark then on the index card, pour both colors and mix to desired color.

  4. 4

    Lastly put clear coat after the paint dries. And then you are done. Repeat steps 1-4 on the other hand.
